When Guardiola was promoted from Barcelonas B-side to take over the first team after Frank Rijkaard left the club in 2008, he reportedly didnt have the clubs fan favourite in his plans.
However, the Manchester City boss now insisted it was the Brazilian who decided it was the right time for him to leave the Catalan giants.
He was a spectacular player, Guardiola said, as quoted by Football Espana.
When we met for the first time, we discussed the possibility of him staying, but he decided that his cycle had come to an end.
Nine years after leaving the Camp Nou, Ronaldinho has now returned to the club and will represent Barcelona as an official club ambassador, as announced by the club.
Ronaldinho is a legend. When he came to Bara he made a name for himself around the world and he brought us success and admiration worldwide, president Josip Maria Bartomeu said in a club statement.
Ronaldinho also has a lot to offer us in terms of the FCBEscola soccer schools around the world.
We want him to help us teach children and for them to learn from him, most of all from his footballing qualities but also as a person.
He is a person who has very similar values to those that Bara hold and he has a winning mentality.

BAFFLING Weather Radar Anomalies Over Switzerland Unexplained! 5/11/16
NEW BRUNSWICK -- Rutgers University is now home to the most powerful weather radar system in the tri-state area via a new deal with New York"s NBC 4 stationandTelemundo 47, the station announced Thursday.
The new StormTracker 4, powered by one million watts of the "latest, most cutting edge technology," is owned and operated by the station but located on land it"s leasing at Rutgers"Cook Campus. The university"s meteorology students will have access to the radar for their classes, according to Rutgers, which has not yet disclosed the terms of the lease.
StormTracker 4 willtrack storms in real time directly from ground level, providing greater insight on water droplets, hail, sleet, and approaching snow. It can even analyze weather data for a precise street location, according to the station.
The radar can generate 1,000 pulses within the blink of human eye and has a range of 50,000 square miles, NBC said.
"There is nothing likeStormTracker 4," said JaniceHuff, the station"s chief meteorologist.
NBC 4 previously used data from the National Weather Service. The new data will offer an important window into the formation of powerful and dangerous weather systems and should provide local residents with extra time to prepare when bad weather looms, Huff said.
Rutgers, which has the state"s only meteorology program that meets federal standards, was selected as the home for StormTracker 4 in part because of its proximity to Manhattan, the university said.
NBC is granting Rutgers" meteorology students access to theradar imagery to examine it and develop a long-term analysis of climate trends and weather patterns. It will also be used in weather broadcasts produced by RU-TV, the student television station, according to the university.
"We"re excited to give our meteorology students the opportunity to observe the weather as it is developing," said Anthony J. Broccoli, chair of the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers.
Al Cope, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service"s regional forecast office in Mount Holly, said it is not yet known whether the weather service will have access to the weather data that comes from the new radar system at Rutgers.
For now, the two primary radar systems used by the Mount Holly office are at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst military complex in Burlington and Ocean counties and at the Dover Air Force base in Delaware. The weather service"s Upton, N.Y., office, which oversees five counties in northern and eastern New Jersey, primarily uses a radar system based on Long Island.
Those systems are part of a network of radar systems across the United States, Cope said.
"They are quite powerful," he said.

For 40 years, 13 reel-to-reel tapes containing live Bob Marley songs sat in a cardboard box in a London hotel basement. They might have landed in the trash if they hadnt been discovered in a building clean-out by a friend of the London businessman Joe Gatt, who alerted his colleague Louis Hoover. Mr. Hoover recognized the value of the tapes immediately. I was speechless, he told The Guardian.
The analog tapes contain the original recordings of Mr. Marleys concerts between 1974 and 1978, at European venues like the Lyceum Theater in London and the Pavillon de Paris.
At first, the two men thought the tapes were unsalvageable because of water damage. There was literally plasticized gunk oozing from every inch and, in truth, saving the sound quality of the recordings looked like it was going to be a hopeless task, Mr. Hoover said. But a sound technician worked for a year to restore the sound quality of 10 out of the 13 tapes to a condition that made the hair on the back of our necks stand up, Mr. Hoover said. The Guardian reported that the project cost about $31,000.
It has not yet been announced whether the recordings, which include the songs No Woman No Cry and I Shot the Sheriff, would be released to the public. a new vinyl set of bob marley & the Wailers Live!, which includes recordings from the 1975 concert at the Lyceum Theater, was released in December.
Audi"s latest Super Bowl commercial will stir up minds regarding perception on gender equality. Prior to the opening of super bowl this sunday, audi has already dropped a sampler of its latest commercial to be shown in the big event.
Audi has released the video of its new commercial for Super Bowl. The clip is entitled "Daughter" and it features a young girl contestant in a cart race, competing with boys.
It seems that the automaker has a relevant message for the whole world as the storyline is to be presented in a world-renowned Super Bowl event. Many speculate the clip is about gender equality. But, is it really just about gender?
All throughout the clip, one can hear a man expressing heaps of questions on his mind. The man appears to be the father of the young girl contestant in the cart race.
The questions reflect the way how society values women. The man asks, "What should I tell my daughter?" He also adds, "That she will automatically be valued less than every man she"ll ever meet?"
Towards the end of the clip, the goals of Audi were flashed. The line "Progress is for everyone" can be spotted which explains the whole concept of the arc shown in the commercial. Prior to this tag line, another line "Audi of America is committed to equal pay for equal work" was flashed too.
Apparently, it is not mainly focused on gender equality, to give women the fair rights to succeed as well. It seems that Audi wants to relay a deeper message. In its official Twitteraccount, the automaker posted the same clip and the caption used sends more depth to the message.
The caption details that women are receiving smaller salaries than men. Interestingly, Audi emphasized that women are still being paid 21 percent less than the average pay given to men.
Audi promotes equal pay for all, regardless of male, female or other genders. The company pushes for fair salary system as it emphasized that progress is aimed for everyone.
Starbucks CEO Howard Shultz reacted to President Trumps temporary travel ban from refugees from seven nations by vowing to hire 10,000 refugees.
The move, which was clearly political in nature and designed from a supporter of Hillary Clinton, did not go over well with red state Americans.
One of those Americans is Evan Hafer, founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Evan started out in the National Guard then transitioned to active duty as a Special Forces operator. The coffee lover then went civilian and contracted with the State Department and the CIA throughout the War on Terror.
Today, Evan and the veterans and patriots who work for him, are busy growing a coffee empire that draws away coffee lovers who dont care for the hipster mentality of Starbucks and simply want to enjoy a strong cup of coffee without the pretense of Italian-named brews and cup-sizes.
While Starbucks sells Cascara Lattes and Espresso Con Pannas, Black Rifle Coffee Company sells roasts that go by the name, Caffeine and Hate, Blackbeards Delight, and Murdered Out.
While BRCC is unlikely to have a need for 10,000 new employees this year, the commitment to hiring veterans is not new and has been a bedrock of their hiring practices since Evan founded the company, Black Rifle Coffee has [always] vowed to hire Veterans and Patriots, we didnt adopt this vow on the heels of anything to drive a bullshit touchy feely false sales projection!
While Starbucks hipsters may say that Black Rifle Coffee is a gimmick, for those who have tried their roasts, those would be fighting words as the coffee (and this author has consumed BRCC on more than one occasion), is exceptional and as fresh as shipped coffee can be.
For those veterans looking to work hard for a paycheck, they can apply by emailing careers@blackriflecoffee.com
